Six new stations at the end of 2023
These new trains have been testing for several weeks.
At the end of 2023, passengers on line 11 will be able to board and discover six new stations, between Romainville, Montreuil and Rosny-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis).
These future stops after Mairie des Lilas are called: Serge Gainsbourg, Place Carnot, Montreuil-Hôpital, Coteaux Beauclair, La Dhuys and Rosny-Bois-Perrier.
The oldest RATP trains, the MP59s, which currently run on the line, will all be replaced and sent for scrapping.
The new metros will follow one another every 105 seconds, with an additional train, in order to accommodate more than 25% of passengers.
They will increase from a capacity of 50,000 passengers per day to 85,000, and will offer a connection with the future line 15 and the RER E.
